Hey Remember when the Huffington post put up daily show Acorn Video?

…No not that one. This one. (Embed doesn’t work):

Lets quote the huff po from that post while it’s still up:

He also spoke with Liz Shaw, a conservative Christian community organizer who says the mockery of her profession at the Republican National Convention led her to organize for Barack Obama. But Matthew Vadum of the Capital Research Center reminds viewers that community organizing of any kind is a gateway-job into crack dealing. Watch:

Yeah you dumb guys at Capital Research Center. Don’t you know the difference between Crack dealing and underage prostitution, tax evasion and illegal alien smuggling?

And remember TPM Cafe. Bertha Lewis wasn’t just Acorn’s Bertha Lewis she was

our very own Bertha Lewis

I wonder if she’ll give John Oliver a new interview?

Arthur Carter Watch YOU FOOL!

After a pretty good week the president is off the wagon:

The Obama administration will scrap the controversial missile defense shield program in Eastern Europe, a senior administration official confirmed to CNN Thursday.

I’d keep an eye on Sarah Palin’s facebook page, this one is a fat pitch over the plate.

Lets cut to the Chase, Gates blather not withstanding the reason why the shipboard option is bad is because it is not actually in the country being protected so they have absolutely no control over their own defense or the decision to actually defend themselves.

This kind of stuff is sure going to provide an incentive for countries to be allied with us isn’t it?

That’s as Carter as you can get:

Carter 15 Arthur 9

This is a full You Fool moment:

Exit question: Is this the price from Russia keeping nukes out of Chavez’s hands and is this administration stupid enough to believe him? Can they learn from President Bush’s mistake concerning Vlad?

Update: Nothing on facebook yet but Conservatives for Palin has an awesome title post:

America’s New Foreign Policy – Speak Softly And Carry A Big “Kick Me” Sign……

Pretty good.

Update 2: Hotair comments

…speaking of that Firedoglake post I linked to

concerning la-affair McCain/Johnson there is one other thing in the post worth noting:

Conservatives have nothing left but socialism…

“Conservatism” now isn’t about winning elections…

ah those Halacon days of April when Liberals thought one election added up to a permanent realignment.

No wonder they are still angry:

Of course, it is quite obvious right now that that’s not at all what the election was about. The Republicans had been screw-ups for a while, and with the failing economy (people tend to vote for the president based on the economy, which is only a tad smarter than voting based on the weather, but whatcha gonna do?), most people just felt they couldn’t reward the Republicans with leadership again. Also, many people were tired of the hostility between conservatives and liberals (though I’m not sure why Republicans got the blame, since we could have had bipartisanship if at any time liberals had decided to stop being a bunch of screeching ninnies who mindlessly opposed whatever Bush was for). Then came along Barack Obama, who promised non-specific hope and change, and everyone was like, “Non-specific hope and change sounds like a great idea!”

But now we can see the problem. After Barack Obama was elected, he started doing specific things. Liberal things. No one voted for that, so Obama’s approval ratings have dropped faster than those of any president before him. And you can see why liberals are so frustrated. They had a charismatic liberal overwhelmingly elected with Democratic majorities, and even he is utterly failing to sell liberalism to the American people.

This was the best chance they could ever possibly imagine, and it’s already pretty much over. Liberal ideas are still in the ghetto. While conservatives can still openly call themselves conservatives and argue directly for things they like (such as gun rights and free markets), liberals still have to run from their label and never dare say out loud the things they want

And I forgot about this part:

The far-left (like the Kos Kids) didn’t even like Obama in the beginning of the Democratic primary; they liked Edwards (because of how smart they are).

Well you can’t blame the Kos kids, after all the MSM covered Edwards the same way they covered Jones and Acorn.

Ah Memories….

How the Charles Johnson Robert Stacy McCain fight has changed (almost) changed the world

Firedoglake April:

or, Lord help ’em, Charles Johnson (to whom I will never link, even by bankshot).

Firdoglake yesterday:

It seems that the unlinkable Robert Stacy McCain has developed a worse case of the red-ass than usual because LGF’s Charles Johnson has been talking shit about him by calling a not-a-spade a not-a-spade.

You know you have fallen far when firedog lake backs you up, but one bit of advice for Tbogg. As Robert Stacy has pointed out his great grandfather was captured at Gettysburg, so putting Mr. McCain in a southern uniform is not going to insult him. Unlike a certain candidate, if he says he can no more disown someone than he can disown his own grandmother, he actually means it.

He still doesn’t link to Charles, that is a bridge too far for him. Unlike obliquely defending acorn.

Update: Ah two different diaries, that might make a difference.

Update 2: I can no more disown acorn…
